Preliminary knowledge

Abstract

This tutorial provides students with programming experience while constructing and implementing the computable general equilibrium models. 

Qualification Targets

Students

  • learn the programming language GAMS, the model language MCP and the meta-language MPSGE
  • understand simple basic models and their extensions
  • are able to implement the basic models independently both in MCP and MPSGE
  • can modify the given models in order to capture other situations
  • can interpret the results and link them to the relevant economic theory

Contents

  • Introduction to computable general equilibrium analysis
  • Comparative static analysis of closed economy with two goods and two production factors
  • Extensions of the basic model for closed economy with heterogeneous labor, heterogeneous households and endogenous labor supply
  • Models of open economies: extension of the basic model for open economy with import tariffs and quotas as well as with international mobile capital
  • General equilibrium models with imperfect competition on the goods markets
